2008-03-22PNP: increase the number of PnP memory resources from 12 to 24Darren Salt
Increase the number of PnP memory resources from 12 to 24. This removes an "exceeded the max num of mem resources" warning on boot. I also noticed the reservation of two more iomem ranges on the computer on which this was tested.

2008-03-20file capabilities: remove cap_task_kill()Serge Hallyn
The original justification for cap_task_kill() was as follows: check_kill_permission() does appropriate uid equivalence checks. However with file capabilities it becomes possible for an unprivileged user to execute a file with file capabilities resulting in a more privileged task with the same uid. However now that cap_task_kill() always returns 0 (permission granted) when p->uid==current->uid, the whole hook is worthless, and only likely to create more subtle problems in the corner cases where it might still be called but return -EPERM. Those cases are basically when uids are different but euid/suid is equivalent as per the check in check_kill_permission(). One example of a still-broken application is 'at' for non-root users.

2008-03-19rcu: fix misplaced mb() in rcu_enter/exit_nohz()Paul E. McKenney
In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz(). This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment. The key thing to keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally execute RCU read-side critical sections. The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus must come -before- this increment. And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz(). The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment. Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

2008-03-19sched: tune multi-core idle balancingIngo Molnar
WAKE_IDLE is too agressive on multi-core CPUs with the new wake-affine code, keep it on for SMT/HT balancing alone (where there's no cache affinity at all between logical CPUs). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-03-19sched: improve affine wakeupsIngo Molnar
improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes after it wakes up some other task. Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short, it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily. ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

I think its the following race: poll says netif_rx_complete poll calls enable_cb enable_cb opens the interrupt mask a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\ enable_cb sees that there is more work | enable_cb disables the interrupt | . V . interrupt is delivered . skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang! . poll would do napi check poll would do disable_cb The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

2008-03-12nommu: Provide is_vmalloc_addr() stub.Paul Mundt
Introduced in commit-id 9e2779fa281cfda13ac060753d674bbcaa23367e and ifdef'ed out for nommu in 8ca3ed87db062201e1fa15b64a9214e193fc3a8a, both approaches end up breaking the nommu build in different ways. An impressive feat for a 2-liner. Current is_vmalloc_addr() users fall in to two camps: - Determining whether to use vfree()/kfree() - Whether to do vmlist traversal (only /proc/kcore). Since we don't support /proc/kcore on nommu, that leaves the vfree()/kfree() determination use cases. nommu vfree() happens to be a wrapper to kfree() anyways, so is_vmalloc_addr() can always return 0 and end up with the right behaviour.

2008-03-09time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUSTRoman Zippel
The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was recently merged as bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource, causing error. The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit). This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST. This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for. For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the "ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

2008-03-07NFS: Fix the fsid revalidation in nfs_update_inode()Trond Myklebust
When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our current superblock. To do so, we label the inode as a remote mountpoint, and check for that in nfs_update_inode(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-03-07[NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)Pavel Emelyanov
Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed. The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any other namespace, depending on who opened the file first. The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in /proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the appropriate task lives in. # ls -l /proc/net lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike "mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory. Changes from v2: * Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling screwup pointed out by Stephen. To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry. To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent. Selinux fixes are Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Changes from v1: * Fixed a task_struct leak in get_proc_task_net, pointed out by Paul.

2008-03-06LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount optionsEric Paris
Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount options. This includes a new string parsing function exported from the LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security data blob. This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be handled by the loaded LSM. Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK when dealing with binary mount data. If the binary mount data is less than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an illegal page fault and boom. Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code since they were broken by past NFS changes.
